Open Offshore Waters for Oil/Gas Development

CEA Kevin Doyle looks at groups who oppose energy development by poisoning the public dialogue with misleading information to the detriment of Georgia’s families and economic growth for our state.

When groups repeat the same reasons why we can’t explore off our coasts, Rep. Carter points to Louisiana, where, in his words, “Gulf Coast communities are home to a $20 billion tourism industry and the state is home to the most productive commercial fisheries outside of Alaska, supplying one-third of the fish caught in the continental U.S. At the same time, they are the source of almost a quarter of our domestically produced oil and natural gas.”
